Once the baby is taken from her she must find a place to live. Noa finds shelter and a meager job at a train station. One night Noa discovers a boxcar full of babies bound for a concentration camp and she rescues one. She runs into the snowy night with the child. Noa and the infant nearly succumb to the elements, but they receive help from the owner of a German circus. To earn her keep, Noa must learn the trapeze.
As the circus begins it’s tour, Noa keeps the secret of her recent pregnancy and the true identity of the baby she claims as her brother. Great read!
